Children- Bubbles Of Wonder

Hearing squeals of laughter outside I looked out... Saw tiny feet running down the pavement ‘Wow.... See the flower in the air' Echoed the excited utterance of a child A golden haired girl with a baby grin Surrounded by friends of her age All pearly eyes were riveted up Looking skyward they clapped their hands Obviously she was referring to a butterfly I watched the glee in their innocent eyes And noticed their minds going crazy Trying to give their tongues A jump upon their amazement Children-floating bubbles of wonder! Heaven sent envoys with a divine errand Easily they glide into a kingdom far beyond Never vexed by the sharp stabs of life They fill their days with fun Blissfully innocent, without guile Romping, laughing, kicking Never in the flurry of adult faces Such iridescent lustre, one can spot! But in the blink of an eye They would be adults Doubt and fear clouding their world Grappling with umpteen problems of life Shutting themselves in the prison of thoughts And getting tutored in the martial arts To live in a world of sham and deceit!
